Bush: Election Results Obviate Need for Accountability
Seriously, who in the world did not see this coming?
Bush: Voters Ratified Iraq Policy
President Bush says his re-election proves Americans agree with his decision to invade Iraq, and that as a result, there’s no need to hold any administration officials accountable for mistakes made in planning for the war, or its aftermath.
“We had an accountability moment, and that’s called the 2004 elections,” Mr. Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post for Sunday’s editions. “The American people listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq, and they looked at the two candidates, and chose me.”
Not that it wasn’t before, but all sense of accountablity has now been banished from the White House. Thanks, voters!
as you wrote, “not that it wasn’t before....”, but still makes one go argh!!!
I know, I know!
It wasn’t exactly as if Bush went around during the campaign saying, “Hey, if you disapprove of my handling of Iraq, vote for the other guy!”
Far from it! He spent most of his time insinuating that even thinking about voting for the other guy would have terrorists setting off nukes in your front yard and so on. I don’t believe there was any moment where he even suggested that this election be a referendum on his handling of Iraq, but now that it’s over suddenly he’s claming that the people support him in this debacle? Must be nice to be president…
